Scope changes have an impact on the project. The impact can be greater than just schedule and budget. In many cases, it may be hard to understand the nature of a change and the impact to the various aspects of the project. For example a change request can come into the project that results in a change to scope. The scope change request may lead to a request to increase schedule and budget. The request might impact the types of resources that are needed on the project ands it might effect a vendor contract. The change could introduce additional risk. The project manager needs to understand the nature of the change and how it might impact all other aspects of the project.

Integrated Change Control is a way to better understand the nature of scope changes. Integrated change control includes the following:

Assumptions are statements that we believe to be true. You believe it to be true, but you are not certain. This means there is some risk that the assumption will not come true. Because of this uncertainty assumptions are very much related to risk, and in fact are simply low-level risks. They have the same characteristics as a risk - probability of occurrence and impact to your project.

Let's take an example of a common statement that is included in many Project Charters - that the resources needed for this project will be available when needed. What kind of a statement is this? Most people would say it is an assumption. After all, when a project starts, you always assume you will get the resources you need.

Everyone can recognize and appreciate that a scope change request must be invoked for large changes to the project. However, you may encounter resistance to formal scope change management for small change requests. The sponsor and other project team members may consider this to be unnecessary overhead for such small decisions.

They might be right. There are three alternate techniques to employ that may help with small changes. None of these options implies that you are not managing and tracking scope changes. These are just additional techniques to use that may be more appropriate for managing small scope changes. 

• Batching.

• Discretion.

• Scope Change Contingency Budget.

Even thought these are small changes, they should still go through some type of scope change management. Otherwise you are susceptible to scope creep.

The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is the first step to create a project schedule. The WBS is used to uncover all the work. This understanding of the project work, and the project management work, gives you a total picture of the project. Use the following six techniques to create a solid WBS for your project.

Do Not Make the WBS Too Tall  

Create a WBS Dictionary for Large Projects  

Use Your Summary Activities for Schedule Milestones

Break Summary Activities into Two or More Detailed Activities:

The Detailed Activities Should be Written as Action Oriented Activities   

WBS's are interesting structures that serve as the backbone for creating a schedule. There are many more techniques as well, but these five provide a good starting point. 

Настоящий документ является  Техническим Руководством по HAZOP (Анализы функциональности оборудования и потенциальных рисков производственного процесса). Это Техническое Руководство, подготовленное Департаментом Инжиниринга, определяет процесс и подробные процедуры проведения обзоров HAZOP.

Настоящая Процедура определяет необходимые шаги и процессы по развитию и реализации Капитальных Проектов в Компании. Данная Процедура является последовательным руководством по разработке капитальных проектов.

 Капитальные проекты в Компании разделяются на две категории: Крупные капитальные проекты и все другие капитальные проекты:

Определяет стадийность разработки ПСД.
Порядок формирования технических заданий на проектирование.
Выбор подрядчика на проектирование.
Составление плана-графика и контроль сроков разработки ПСД. Проведение внутренней и внешней экспертизы проектной документации.
Приемка и утверждение ПСД.
Порядок разработки ПСД силами   проектировщиков отдела проектирования.

Целью является создание единого документа, регламентирующего все определения, процедуры и документацию по управлению проектированием.

 Задачи: 

- обеспечить своевременность и качество разработки проектно-сметной документации для объектов строительства, включенных в план капитального строительства будущих лет;

- определить конкретные функции каждого подразделения и специалиста при организации работ по разработке проектно-сметной документации и границы персональной ответственности.

Successful project management requires two main elements. First your organization must have aligned processes to help projects to be successful. This includes project management, portfolio management, financial processes, HR processes, etc. Second, project managers need the skills to proactively manage projects.

If your organization has good processes and the staff is well skilled, you will find you have a powerful combination for success.

Training (skill building) must be considered holistically. It doesn’t make sense to just start teaching classes. Project management is a very broad field. There are dozens of classes that can be offered, in many different formats and delivery modes. A Training Plan will help set the overall context for training. A Training Plan includes the following.

• The scope of training.

• Training needs.

• Specific classes.

• Development.

• Mode.

• Coaching.

• Costs.

• Success criteria. .

• Metrics.

The Training Plan is where the overall training model is defined. You then need to execute the plan to ensure the staff actually receives the agreed learning.

Three Not So Obvious Tips to Reduce Project Costs

When a project is trending over budget, it is not always obvious how to respond - especially if the remainder of your budget is also allocated. Sometimes it seems if you are trending over budget it is impossible to get back.

Here are three techniques to help. These are not so obvious and might be missed when you are looking for solutions.

Implement "Zero Tolerance" Scope Change Management

Improve Processes

Set up More Detailed Cost Accounts

There are many other obvious ways to reduce costs, including cutting back on non-labor costs, cutting back on staff, looking for cheaper alternatives, etc. The three techniques above can take longer to work, but can help get back on budget
